I absolutely love the fall and winter season, especially because of apple cider! I recently discovered this Apple Cider Float Recipe, which tastes like heaven.

If so, you’ll need to have the following ingredients ready, if making this as well:

Sparkling Apple Cider

Fresh Local Apple Cider

French Vanilla Ice Cream

Whipped Cream – Optional

Apple Slice – Optional

Ground Cinnamon – Optional

Cinnamon Stick – Optional

Caramel Sauce – Optional

Do you ever have achy muscles at night? If so, you need to make this Homemade Muscle Rub With Essential Oils For Muscle Pain! I made this remedy for my husband last week and it worked wonderfully.

During the colder months, I always like to try different bath salts to prevent the cold and flu! This year, I tried this Bath Salts for Cold and Flu Recipe. Long story short, I loved these bath salts! Nothing is better than eucalyptus oil and vanilla. I plan on making these bath salts again and giving them to my in-laws! You must try this new recipe! Here are the supplies you’ll need:

Do you have extra mason jars at home? If so, there are tons of crafts you can make with them! I recently found this Mason Jar Tissue Holder DIY project and was inspired. I plan on making some of these tissue holders for my home, because I have tons of unused mason jars. Plus, these tissue holders look so much nicer than the paper ones. Don’t you agree? If you’d like to make this project as well, be sure to have the following supplies ready:

Mason jar

Mason jar lid

Scissors

X-acto knife

Scrapbook paper

Glue stick

Hammered bronze Rust-Oleum spray paint

Craft Paint

Paint brush

Stick on craft embellishments

Tissue

PS: If you do not have any mason jars at home, head to your local thrift store and pay next to nothing for them!
